Star a Franchise : Current "Curry and Kawhi" or Prime "Lebron and Durant"

[Tycriss]

Curry 2016 & Kawhi 2016 vs Lebron 2013 & Durant 2014
With coach Kerr ?

[Fire Colangelo]

Kawhi is the weak link, I'll take Lebron + Durant.

[Milbuck]

Lebron and Durant easily. Kawhi is just not on the other guys' levels.

[JZ600]

Kids overrating kwahi like crazy these days

[Segatti]

Lebron > Durant > Curry >>> Kawhi

[DonDraper]

Curry needs a very specific group of players around him to succeed

-Size on all 4 positions

-Elite defenders in all positions

-Elite playmaking teammates

-Tall backup PG

-Spot-up shooters

-Elite rim protection



He needs a very specific group of skillset around him to succeed to mask his deficiencies, you cant just plug him into a team and make them succeed


He's not an All-round machine like LeBron, more like a borderline star that masquerades as a Superstar when put with a very specific group of players that are tailored around his skillset.












Put Curry on any other playoff team in the league, they barely win 50 games

In a game of two on two I'd probably take Lebald and Durant, but since the question is to start a franchise, I'd go with Curry and Kawhi

The reason, because Lebald is too ball dominant and makes other superstars much worse. Durant's role would be reduced to a Shane Battier

[sd3035]

Curry and Durant are on a much higher level than the other two, although Kawhi has killed Lebald on several occasions

I agree, although the Battier reference is a bit much.

It is much easier to fit a team around Curry/Kawhi, even though they don't have as much talent as Lebron/Durant.

It's true Lebron doesn't need any special teammates, he will just transform anyone into Booby Gibson, even a prime Shaq.

[dunksby]

Durant past his prime? Damn nobody cared to inform me

[24-Inch_Chrome]

LeBron and Durant, easy.

[Lebron23]

LeBron and Durant. They are way better than the Beta Boys.

Exactly this. Lebron makes other stars worse and as an owner I don't want to deal with lebron jumping to other teams if he doesn't get his way.

Lebron's ball dominance didn't affect Kyrie as much... I feel like Lebron + KD is just gonna wreck hovac... Could you imagine a small ball line up with Lebron and KD?
